It’s always interesting to see how cities repurpose pieces of out-dated infrastructure. Payphones in the city don’t go completely unused, but it’s an elegant solution to upgrade these kiosks of outmoded communication so that they’re useful in a modern, internet-centric city and culture.
I’m also sympathetic to free internet hotspots in cities after spending countless hours in the basement of a Starbucks in London trying to book a hostel reservation last summer. This would be a lot easier.
